Picked this up a show recently. I think it has some very nice qualities. Curious to see what others think.
Only have a pic of the front at the time.

The centering is off slightly (but good for the particular card). If held landscape, the lower left looks a tiny bit rounded but pics can have that effect sometime without it being the case. Assuming the surface and back are clean I’d guess it ends up 7.5-8.
I would say 6 is the floor.

Barring any hidden flaws, that’s a 7.
Solid 7 with chance at 7.5/8. Nice card.
I would say 7. Easier to see corner wear by the back though so I always prefer to see back scans too.
I'd say 6-7, but leaning toward a 7.

Nice card and great pick up. While my photo is not great it might help you gauge where your Banks will grade.
7

Looks like a solid 7, nice card.

How about me?
I think think the 56 Topps Banks would grade a 7.
6.5 The corners show some modest wear are not "pointy" sharp for the 7 or 7+ range IMO
I say 5 on the '54 Banks.
